Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the [https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/ dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository].

For all those who want to try out Plasma 5 without affecting their existing Plasma 4 installation, we also provide an x86_64 live image with Plasma 5 based on Fedora 20: [https://dvratil.fedorapeople.org/plasma5/iso/ https://dvratil.fedorapeople.org/plasma5/iso/].

Plasma Next packages are available in the [extra] repository. To install it run:

# pacman -S plasma-next

Exherbo Linux

We currently provide Plasma 5 packages in the kde repository. They can easily be installed with the help of the plasma set:

# cave resolve plasma*

Fedora

We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository. (Please note that these packages replace Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces cannot be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)

Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the plasma-5 meta-package, which will install all needed packages.

On Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21. On a 32-bit system, replace x86_64 with i386.

If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run

dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5
dnf install plasma5
